What drives them is their deep love of the land: the iconic terrain where explorers and cowboys, pioneers and riverboat captains forged the American identity. They feel a moral responsibility to preserve this heritage and natural wealth, to ensure that their families and communities will continue to thrive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnfolding as a journey down the Mississippi River, \u003cem\u003eRancher, Farmer, Fisherman\u003c\/em\u003e tells the stories of five representatives of this stewardship movement: a Montana rancher, a Kansas farmer, a Mississippi riverman, a Louisiana shrimper, and a Gulf fisherman.
